Second nodded, somewhat understanding what she was saying.
He got the gist, but was it really as dramatic as Tara Green made it out to be?
After all, they were just a few blueprints.
“This kind of talent is rare. If you expose yourself but can’t be used by others, you’ll be in danger, understand?” Tara Green
advised him seriously.
Second nodded, “I understand.”
Seeing his calm demeanor, Tara Green furrowed her brow, unsure if he truly grasped her words. “Second, did you really
understand what I said?”
Second nodded again, “Yeah, got it. Protect myself and don’t reveal anything until I’m sure of what I want to do.”
“Well… since you understand, could you maybe not act so calm? It makes me feel like I’m naive,” Tara Green said.
Second frowned, “So how should I act?”
“Excited or… proud. You know, like First usually does, lighting up with just a bit of sunshine!” Tara suggested.
At that moment, Second glanced at First, who was still sleeping with his eyes covered. That was probably their biggest
difference–First always seemed ready to shine.
In situations where others might be confident and assured, he was not. Instead, when something was given to him, he
tended to be more cautious or simply remained calm.
But since Tara had asked him, he forced a smile.
Seeing his strained smile, Tara said, “… Never mind, forget I said anything.”
Second immediately dropped the smile.
Tara looked at him with an expression that seemed to say, “My child is growing up,” filled with a sense of pride.

At that moment, Tara noticed the blueprints in his hand and quickly closed them, glancing around as if worried someone
might take notice.
“Second, put them away, put them away!” Tara urged.
Second obediently closed the blueprints and tucked them into his black backpack.
Once everything was secured, Tara finally relaxed, looking at him with a motherly pride in her eyes.
“This year feels like I’ve hit the jackpot, meeting you three. You’ve surprised me time and again. So, tell me, how many
more surprises do you have in store? Maybe you should just spill it all at once. Otherwise, I’m afraid my heart can’t take it,”
Tara said.
Second furrowed his brow. “That should be all.”
“Should?”
He nodded. “That’s all.”
First was undoubtedly a genius.
Second was too, but he was the type of genius who didn’t realize it.
If she hadn’t discovered it today, who knows who might have found out later and what could have happened.
At this moment, Tara was wide awake, watching Second as if afraid he’d vanish the moment she blinked. “Second, I think
you should keep working on this. If Quinn finds out, he might want to hide you away…”
”
“Then don’t tell him!”
“Why not?”
“I don’t want to be hidden away.”
Tara couldn’t help but laugh. “Second, you know, this world is extreme. If you can be useful, you’ll be protected. If not, you
might face disaster because your existence is a threat to your enemies.”

“So, you’re saying if I’m not useful to the Dark Web, Quinn will kill me?” Second countered.

“Uh, no, that’s not what I meant. Quinn isn’t like that. If he knew, he’d definitely support you three. I’m just worried… the Dark Web might not be able to handle someone as powerful as you,” Tara explained.
She sighed.
As they talked, things became clearer. The Dark Web mainly focuses on hackers and taking on assignments. They’re not really skilled in mechanical manufacturing, which requires rare talent, significant investment, and slow results. This kind
of research is usually handled by various countries, and part of the threat comes from arms suppliers. Those are the real
dangers; they treat people like pawns and will eliminate anyone who can’t be used.
So, if her situation were to be discovered, it would definitely attract attention from all sides. She could foresee that danger
would outweigh safety.
The more she thought about it, the more uneasy she became. She needed to meet with Quinn soon to discuss this
thoroughly.
The excitement in her bones was still there, but it was now overshadowed by worry. Tara knew her journey wouldn’t be
peaceful anymore.
Just then, First, who had been sleeping, was woken up by their voices. He lifted his eye mask, revealing a tired and sleepy
expression. “What are you guys talking about? It’s so noisy!”
Tara turned to First and whispered a couple of things in his ear. To her surprise, he just responded with a nonchalant “Oh.”
Then he added, “Keep it down, will you? You’re disturbing my sleep!” With that, he put his eye mask back on, turned away,
and went back to sleep.
Tara was left speechless.
Could they be any more nonchalant?
Or maybe they just didn’t grasp how incredible and mind–blowing this situation was. They acted like it was just another
day, making her feel like she was the one who hadn’t seen the world.
Turning back, Second glanced at Tara and couldn’t help but explain on behalf of First, “To my brother, nothing is more

important than sleep.”

Tara replied, “I can see that!”
“Tara, I think I understand what you mean. Don’t worry, I’ll take care of myself and seriously think about my future path,”
Second suddenly said, looking at her earnestly.
